With Milan in mind, Francesco Totti is unlikely to feature for Roma this weekend as they host Genoa at the StadioOlimpico.

The captain has struggled to complete a full week of training for a couple of weeks now after picking up various knocks. Subsequently, so as to allow for a full preparation for Week 29’s trip to League leaders Milan, the Giallorossi are understood to be keen to rest the No 10 this weekend.

Daniele De Rossi is more likely to feature, but as the Corriere dello Sport report, he will be wearing a special support for his fit, to ease an inflamed heel injury.

Roma, who sit in sixth place in the table, are currently seven points away from the final Champions League qualification position and five away from Europa League qualification.
